Fox - Kinship

Kin Groups and Descent.
Fox kin groupings consisted of numerous exogamous patrilineal clans,
the corporate features of which focused on ritual activities and rights
to clan names. In theory, each clan was descended from a vision seeker
who had been blessed by a spirit. Lineages composing the clans were the
primary means for the inheritance of rights to ritual positions and
political offices and also served to regulate Secondary marriages.
Descent was patrilineal.
